The descendants of colonists are an example of this.
Not only foolish but a liar too, you made such a claim. Several African nations were colonies, whether you physically said Africa or not is of no real relevance. Several of it's nations were colonies before. If you had not specifically meant Africa you'd have specifically stated "excluding Africa"...your accusation included the region. I am privy to select which colonies I wish as you left it open to my choosing.
